Waxing Moon Half-lit in Scorpio

Greeting Waxing Moon Half-lit (exact 200727 @0532 PDT) in Scorpio

… balance, trust, conviction, action … 

Energy is gathering under the waxing Moon. Now half-lit, it’s time to pause, reorient, and renew our sense of balance. In Scorpio we are more able to unearth the deep wisdom within; and we have a clearer sense of purpose. It is time to listen to intuition and heart sense; refine our intentions; and review and realign our plans.

The energy of beginnings is heightened right now (waxing Moon, Merc SQ Mars & Mayan New Year began yesterday). There’s a strong pull to be free, playful and creative (Leo Sun) and there’s excitement in the air. We are urged to let go of whatever limits, restrains or constricts us (Scorpio Moon) and step fully into the Light. Sun and Moon call us to connect our core to the farthest reaches of the cosmos, and to open to new possibilities. Together they balance the need for both trust and control; and infuse us with self-confidence (Leo) and self-empowerment (Scorpio).

It is a powerful time. We have access to greater inspiration and creativity; and can expect an increased compassion, connection and unity, and perhaps even miracles (Jup-Nep sextile, 2nd of 3, & energy with us for the year). Yes, there may be some tensions or unexpecteds along the way (Moon-Uranus) but we will likely find it easier to focus on the still-point within, and may also find Spirit fulfilling our heart’s longings (Venus-Neptune square).

It is time dance with Fire and Water. Time to open to new possibilities, new desires, new passions. Time to review/revise intentions and plans. Time to use heart-sense and Spirit-eyes to bring new futures into form.

With Spirit eyes look far and wide
out to the cosmos and inside

Eagle and Lion, royals of sky and land,
their powers together held now in your hands

Explore their offerings and craft new things
Feel Spirit soar with brilliant new wings

Time to dance your magick into the stars
Time to illuminate all that you are

Nurture your Nature
WisdomWild
with Love and Light
Fiona

May you roar & purr as you spread your radiant wings this Moon

Moon Dark-new in Cancer (Leo soon)

Welcome Moon Dark-New (exact @1033 PDT) in Cancer (& in Leo Soon – @1316)

… feel, flow, nourish, care…

Here we are, the second Moon dark-new in Cancer. Called a ‘black Moon’ it is a rare-ish event (occurs every 2.5-3 yrs) but not as rare an event as the appearance of comet Neowise (aka New Wisdom). Neowise will be closest to Earth in the next couple of days and won’t visit gain for 6800 years. Arriving upon the rolling waves of eclipse season and along side the messenger Black Moon, we are strongly called to ‘reset’… and we have more ‘markers’ for these times.

Energy is rising (new Moon) and shifting (Moon>Leo @1316; Sun>Leo Wed). Some alignments may again challenge and test us (Jupiter-Sat-Pluto); we are urged to be mindful for whatever may cause fear, doubt or pessimism, and draw on the positive gifts of caring, healing, and change (Cancer energy + Mars-Chiron effects). We may variously feel the need to fight injustice (Eris); be motivated to increase our sense of security (Cancer); and/or find ourselves strongly motivated to tune to and express a higher purpose (Capricorn planets). Still, the spotlight continues to be on home, nurturing, caring, and tending our emotional well-being (5 planets in Water signs, 3 of them in Cancer). With this second Cancer Moon, we have more time and opportunities to deepen our practices. It is again time to nurture and lovingly tend ourselves and all for which we care.

Time to fortify our foundations with strength, wisdom and truth. Time to flow into the core of our Being. Time to deeply feel into the completeness of home within. Time to revisit, refine and hone our visions. Time to seed and nourish sanctuary and let things unfold.

Time to listen to the soft calls of the heart
Time to gently arise from the restful dark

Stretch into the ancestral wisdom that within resides
Open to all the treasures and enjoy new found surprise

Time to choose what you will next seed
and new ways to nurture and feed

Let increasing Fire inspire
all that you most truly desire

Nurture your Nature
WisdomWild
with Love and Light
Fiona

Wishing you the cleansing, calming influences of the Waters
& the warmth & inspiration of your rising inner Fire this Moon

Waning Moon Half-lit in Aries

Greeting Waning Moon Half-lit (exact @ 1629 PDT)   in Aries

… balance, reflect, release, rejuvenate… 

Waning Moon calls us to slow, wind down and move inward. Half-lit she calls us into balance. It is time to pause. Time to reflect upon the learning of this cycle and release what does not serve. Time to re-integrate and clear the way for nourishing self-care in the deepening Moon dark.

The call to balance and find harmony is intensified by Sun and Moon in signs ‘opposite’ their core natures. We are urged to seek the cooperative powers of opposites: feminine/masculine; feeling/acting; Water/Fire. Aries (masculine, acting, Fire) brings movement, boldness and fearlessness. Cancer (feminine, feeling, Water) brings compassion, healthy sensitivity and unconditional love. Together they teach us about peace, cooperation and creating harmony.

Opportunities to work with these teachings have been provided often over the past many weeks. The energy is somewhat lighter now (esp post eclipse cycle) and we are blessed with renewed clarity (Merc now direct). It is the waning time but the dominance of cardinal energy (9/11 planets in cardinal signs) brings a pull to initiate (esp w/ Aries Moon); it signals the need to re-center and realign. Supportive positions and alignments give us greater access to Spirit; positively heighten sensitivity; and we are able to open our hearts more widely and dissolve residual blocks more easily now (Sun-Neptune trine). It’s a time of powerful healing, and a time to attend our inner child (Chiron Rx as of yesterday).

Time for reflection, self-nourishment and compassion. Time to be cleansed by the Waters (Cancer) and warmed by the Fire (Aries). Time to remember and deepen our sense of connectedness (Sun-Neptune). Time to feel into Light and joy and surrender into the feminine deep.

Fire and Water meet at Moon half-lit
To harmony we are called to commit

Tune into your inner Fire
Focus on all that inspires

Essence, Light and heart-felt joy
Make these your most precious toys

Time to create a new lease
Time to nourish inner peace

Nurture your Nature
WisdomWild
with Love and Light
Fiona

May you find nourishing peace in the Waters
& be inspired by your inner Fire this Moon

Moon Full in Capricorn + P.Eclipse

Greeting Moon Full (exact @ 2144 PDT) + partial Lunar Eclipse (@ 2132 PDT) in Capricorn

… strength, nurturance, liberation… 

The times have been challenging, at times disturbing, often wearying. With this lunar eclipse we reach the end of the Cancer/Capricorn eclipse cycles of the last 2.5 years. What was hidden has come to light, Truth has come to the surface, and there’s opportunity for spiritual liberation. We are in the process of a ‘reboot’ and, with this Moon, a wave of progressive energy flows in. Yippee! It’s time to honour lessons learned and open to change and new possibilities (eclipse + Moon-Uranus).

Various events, especially the eclipses, have shaken the energy and helped us to see what isn’t working. We’ve had to face restrictions and limitations (including those self-imposed within); and our survival instincts have been called to action. We’ve had to examine our feelings and commitments regarding personal and collective responsibility. Yes, things are still intense and there’s still ‘unfinished business’ (whole list: Capricorn effect esp Saturn in Cap) but now there’s some settling of energies, and idealism and optimism begins to filter in (Jup-Pluto-Neptune). We have continued support for our inner exploration and review of the past (5 planets Rx); and assistance in finding our courage and taking action on what matters (Mars-Aries). Feminine energy is high (8/11 planets in fem signs); empathy, understanding and kindness is on the rise (Sun-Neptune); and right now we are also blessed with increased intuition, insight and inspiration; and the power to stimulate liberation (Moon-Uranus).

With this Moon we are again challenged to blend, integrate or otherwise harmonize the head (Cap Moon) and heart (Cancer Sun). Cancer is focussed on emotional security and nurturing. Capricorn focusses on material security, responsibility and authority/control. Together they call us to honour both deep roots and our world purpose; and to strongly deepen self love and self care.

Time to lean into the strength of Seagoat, the protection of Crab, and the nurture of Earth and Sea. Time to clear-out and release whatever beliefs or behaviours continue to hold us back. Time to simplify and to protect what is sacred. Time to be clear about boundaries, trust intuition, and take strength from heart-knowing. Time to honour all the steps you have taken. Time to re-embrace you, all you have done, and all that you Be.

From the mountain top to the depths of the sea
Seek the wisdom of strength and serenity

Stand on Mountain and feel hir deep strength
Enter the power of Earth’s wavelength

In the watery depths connect with your soul
Attune your heart to all that makes things whole

Feel into Spirit and sweet harmony
Honour and celebrate all that you Be

Nurture your Nature
WisdomWild
with Love and Light
Fiona

May you feel your strength, claim your authority, and
nurture all that you Love and all that you Be this Moon

Waxing Moon Half-lit in Libra

Welcome Waxing Moon Half-lit (exact 200628 @ 0116 PDT) in Libra

… balance, harmony, connection …

Waxing Moon half-lit calls us to pause, centre and realign. In Libra she brings peace, balance, harmony, stability and connection. Awareness of self and others is heightened; empathic ability is amplified; and we become more sensitized to beauty, home, harmony and balance. Sun and Moon together urge us to centre and realign (both in cardinal signs) and to seed Love both strong and tender.

Water energy (Cancer season) continues to support immersion in feeling, healing, nourishment, and home. We can expect to find ourselves living more from our hearts than our heads and, although we may at times feel a bit ‘spacey’, we will likely also experience greater compassion, creativity and Spirit connection (Neptune-Rx). Recent alignments provide mental and emotional balance (Venus-Saturn); bring in easy flows of energy and enthusiasm (Moon-Jup); as well as stabilising (Moon-Sat) and calming influences (Moon-Venus). Deep integration and harmony will come with greater ease (Venus now direct), as will our confidence, and our ability to multi-task and take on new challenges (Mars in Aries today).

It is time to review and clarify plans; and to begin to take initial action. Time for roots to extend more deeply into Earth, and for stems and leaves to emerge. A time to nurture our hearts, hone our sense of purpose, and fuel our power. Time to move towards a more creative, peaceful and sustainable world. Time to bring visions into form.

Waxing Moon half-lit calls us to reflect
on all we detect, effect and direct

Justice, peace and calls for change
Pause to see how all’s arranged

Time now to find balance and harmonise
so peace and unity can catalyze

With Love, truth and passion begin to dance
all that is and all you wish to advance

Nurture your Nature
WisdomWild
with Love and Light
Fiona

May balance, harmony and deep heart wisdom
fuel all that you bring into form this Moon
